Ванек VPN VPN bot
In short
A tiny service with a human face: the owner writes the news posts himself, jokes about the service's anthem and owns up to outages. That is enough for a test drive, especially with a trial on offer. For anything serious the key piece is missing: clear terms and pricing before you start.
About the bot
What we know
By the service's own account it has 7 countries, and almost all of them hold up well on mobile data. On iOS connections kept dropping for a while; the news feed says that has been fixed. After an attack attempt from Iran the service blocked access there and offers it on request.
The bot was recently simplified: a newcomer sees only the connection screen, and the other buttons appear later. We like that, because the first minutes with any VPN usually go into hunting for the right button, and here there is nothing to hunt for.
There is a referral scheme: 3 days for a friend who merely takes the trial, plus another week if they pay. Handy if you want longer free use, but remember that bonuses reward recommendations, not quality.
You will not find prices, protocols or a logging policy anywhere public, and there is no legal information about the owner. That is tolerable for everyday browsing and messengers, but online banking and work email deserve a provider with a name behind it.
